I have a question about constructions like this: "Omar y Cristina son nuestros panaderos," e.g. "Omar and Cristina are our bakers." I understand it is "nuestros" because it is the nosotros form of the possessive adjective. However, I'm confused about the gender. Why is it masculine here?
Hola. Could you please explain why, in the following question, "todo aquel que" is a wrong answer?
________ vinieron el año pasado han vuelto este año.All those who came last year returned this year.(HINT: It refers to people in general both male and female)
Hi, there are two questions on the quiz that I don't understand: (1) "Esos chicles son mentolados pero ____ no tienen sabor" and (2) "Esos estudiantes van a viajar a Asia pero ________ no tienen dinero." Kwiziq is saying that the correct demonstrative pronoun in both cases is "estos." However, my understanding was that demonstrative pronouns should vary in gender with the noun they refer to, unless it isn't known or we are referring to statement, idea, or situation. In 1, the noun being referred to is "chicles," which is a masculine plural noun, so the demonstrative pronoun should be "estes," not estos, correct? With 2, I understand that we may not know the gender of the group, so we use esto. Can you explain?
What about using an article in front of being a stay at home parent? Soy madre. Soy padre. Is there an equivalent of this in the Spanish language?
la de fotos que
As far as food, I looked for restaurants... is translated as 'En cuanto a la alimentación' or 'Con respecto a la alimentación'
This is useful language but I can't find any lesson that references this structure. Is there one?
The nearest I can find is 'Preposition + lo que + clause' which would lead to:
En lo que respecta a la alimentación. Is that possible?
Gracias
Hola
Cual es correcta?
1. No fuimos nosotras quienes hicimos caer a esa mujer.
2. No fuimos nosotras quienes hicieron caer a esa mujer.
Cual es la regla? #3 con 1 plural y #4 con 3 plural.
3. Somos nosotros quienes podemos hacer la diferencia.
We're the ones who can make a difference.
4. Seamos nosotros quienes se hagan ricos con esto.
So it might as well be us who get rich on it.
Gracias de antemano
Hola Silvia y/o Inma,
Please could you tell me why the preposition a is used with sobrevivir and yet not used with superar (which was given as an alternative in the hint)? I hope it's not something obvious that my old brain isn't getting, ja ja ja!
Gracias :)
As other users have commented, "había" seems to be the past-tense equivalent of "hay".
"Había" is the past imperfect conjugation of haber, but the present tense conjugations of haber (he has ha hemos han) do not include "hay".
Is the word "hay" some other conjugation of "haber", or is not actually from the same root word?
